This. HBO’s problem now is they still have shows that win awards, but outside of Game, nobody cares much about them. Westworld seemed like a contender, but even that kind of hit the skids. After years and years, they finally started showing most new releases in the proper aspect ratio, but it...

Bring back Monsters HD

Epix has two original series starting this fall, Graves and Berlin Station. The former is a Lionsgate property, the other one is a Le Carre like CIA drama and is from Paramount, and looks quite interesting. So its not as if they intend to remain as just a movie stop.

At least for those with Hoppers(can't recall for those without), I don't understand why people would pay anything for Starz when it's all available on demand through the receiver anyway.

If space is still an issue, why are we going on five or six years now with Dish carrying channels like Logo and Centric in "HD", which have never been, and probably never will be, channels that intend to send an HD signal?

Watched Night Court last night, enjoyed watching with no commercials. Can't speak to the syndicated/uncut question, I did see the beginning of Magnum P.I. and it had the 2nd opening theme for the pilot ep, though, which might tilt toward syndication.

Haven't really looked at my Roku for awhile, but HBOGo thru my Samsung smart TV is much, much better than the Dish feed.

Any topic he posts on it's Directv Good, Dish Bad, just ignore it.

Probably referring to the fact that Scream is a 2.35:1 movie being cropped for 16:9 TVs. Which is almost as annoying as if it was edited.

Looking at the uplink today, you missed it by thaaaaaaat much......Or Dish missed you..

I called our local guys in CR Saturday to switch to Directv. I wanted to get in line for an install before the Hawks game started at 2:30 and everyone realized what was going on. Anyway, yesterday I had to call back there about some rebates, and they mentioned that the girl working Saturday by...

I've always been one of the biggest defenders of Dish on here, but today I'll pulled the trigger on Directv. I'm not happy that I'm losing Epix and Retroplex, but it just gets old going thru this over and over. With the BTN it's even worse, since it's a here and gone thing, over and over...

With the free Roku and credits, it's already a win-win situation if it ever comes back on Dish anyway. I wouldn't have missed it til October at all, and now don't care.

How about a deal where Dish pays a reduced rate and just shows them on Sunday nights. Is there anybody out there that cares about the channel other than 1 or 2 hrs a weekend? Now that Mad Men and Killing are done, I lost track of Breaking Bad in season 2, so I'm good until October when the...

If you try to actually use facts with Direct subs, they just counter with, "Well, we have all the ones I care about." Those ten or fifteen others they've never had don't count.

It's hard to see how Dish is behind Directv when D doesn't even offer any of the Epix channels or Retroplex/Indieplex in HD, or SD.

All their new programming is in HD, it's just the shows that us adults like on weeknights that aren't.

I believe the correct phrasing is, Thankfully they are letter boxed(as they should be) and look great in HD!

I looked at Netflix a while back, and the streaming options are basically Epix and Starz libraries. Epix is one(two/three) of a bunch of good movie channels in platinum, and Starz is free anyway, so I figured what's the point. On Dish online besides.

Yeah, I finally got the update on my 622, and checked it out last night. I started laughing when it disappeared after about 1.5 seconds. Channels like TNT and BBC have their own garbage at the bottom of the screen non-stop, this is not worth worrying about.

Epix and HBO have taken most of the studios that used to feed Showtime. They just lost another in Summit a week or two ago. It's sad in that Showtime is the only premium to be 100 percent OAR. Epix does pretty good, but anything Showtime loses to Starz or HBO means full-screen hell for...

Yeah, the main channels I care about being top line HD are movies and sports. You can watch two different movies on the same premium, say Sin City and Rocky, and go Wow! the pq is great, and then, Wow! the pq sucks. Now neither of those had anything to do with Dish, it's just all the different...

What we're talking about has nothing to do with Dish, does it? It's just the stupid stuff that all channels put at the bottom of the screen, like TNT, BBCA, ESPN, Bravo, etc etc. along with the premiums.

But those two and Starz are the ones not classy enough to show some, or all, of their films in the proper aspect ratio. I'd rather have the occasional annoyance if I could choose.

I wasn't aware Directv had any of the Epix channels, any of the plex HD channels, TCM, or even AMC in HD. Honestly, after the first few of any of the premium service channels, the rest just play the same movies. Miss one on one Max or Showtime channel, see it on another two days later. But...
